Healthy Eating

Besides taking a class on-line, I am reading many tips from Spark and toher sources. Find a great one from HELPGUIDE.org
Healthy eating tips. I a m going to break the ideas down into parts. Maybe some of you can find more information to add as we go along.
Set yourself up for success. We have talk about this, with the goal setting, exercising, so this might be a little of repeat.
SIMPLify: Think of the new eating plan we are undertaking as a color design, variety and freshness.
Focus on finding foods that you love and try to expand on these. Find new recipes, use fresh instead of frozen when veggies or fruits are in season.

START SLOW to make changes to your eating habits. Remember it takes time to change a habit. We all know that overnight is not going to happen. Small steps work better on anything we try. Go light salad dressing on the new colorful salad you are adding. Try a new veggie once a week and cook it different ways.

EVERY change you make is for the better. We do not have to perfect. Do not try and eliminate what you might consider "the bad food" all at once. IF you consider you missteps, just keep on trucking. Every healthy food choice counts.
